Having used Linux for 3 years now, I will never ever switch back to Microsoft. Linux is so much better. Dare I say "Linux is to Microsoft" as "Toyota is to Ford." Remember those word association S.A.T. tests?
I won't mind buying either a Kentucky Camry or an Aichi Camry--I know both are *Excellent* excellent cars. But I have to admit, I will be leaning a bit towards the Aichi/Tsutsumi plant.
I didn't make a close, careful examination of my dealer's Aichi and Georgetown Camrys. For one thing, it was freezing outside, and I musta spent 20 minutes just deciding on whether I liked the Salsa Red Pearl or Lunar Mist Metallic (silver?) better. Still undecided on that dour red and odd silver. The Mineral Green Opalescent is kinda nice though. Too bad the Camrys don't come in Impulse Red Pearl like the Corollas--now that's a snazzy car color.
I will say this about the two Camrys. I noticed that all the domestic Camrys had a driver-side fender top edge point that didn't fully line up with the lower left edge of the windshield frame piece. I'm not sure what the official names of these pieces are. However, in the Aichi Camrys, they lined up perfectly.
I hate to say it, but I think our Kentucky plant's management may need to look into this? Come on guys! I know you can do it. You're probably almost there.
I will be perfectly happy with either a Georgetown or Aichi machine.
Still haggling over price. Told my local dealer that I'm willing to spend only $300 over the
18,200 that I can get from a dealer one-hundred miles away. Local salesman says he isn't going lower than 18,900. I suppose we'll see at the end of the quota month if he really isn't budging and won't accept my 18,500 offer.Meanwhile the dealer 100 miles away just emailed me a lower selling price: 17,988 from his original
18,200. Gee, some dealers just try harder, it seems.I would prefer buying locally, though. If I wait till the end of the month (or actually January 3 is when the $500 rebate expires) and my local dealer really does not budge from 18,900, do you think its likely Toyota will renew the rebate for January?
Thanks very much.
